I have grade 1 varicocele and I'm a bit worried is this something serious? Which type of doctor should I see for this? Can grade 1 varicocele be treated with medicine or will it need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
testicle is being affected by the varicocele or if there's still pain and support doesn't help, a type of surgery called a varicocelectomy may be recommended. This is done by a urologist, a doctor who specializes in urinary and genital problems.

View allI've noticed that my left testicle is quite a bit larger than the right one. The left one is around the size of an egg, while the right is more like a 2 rupee coin. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be an issue? Please help me figure this out.
It's important to monitor any changes in the size of your testicles, even without pain. A significant size difference could be due to various factors, such as a varicocele, hydrocele, or other conditions. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly an ultrasound to ensure everything is fine.

I've been diagnosed with phimosis and I'm not sure what to do should I consider laser surgery or are there natural treatments that might work? I'm a bit worried about the risks and recovery time with surgery but also want something effective
For phimosis, non-surgical treatments like steroid creams and stretching exercises are often tried first. If these aren't effective, surgical options like circumcision or preputioplasty might be considered. Laser circumcision offers a minimally invasive surgical alternative with potential benefits like faster healing

I've been wondering about something and could really use some guidance. I'm 17 now, and I've been masturbating for around 2 years. Ive heard that semen contains zinc, and I'm worried if this could actually lower testosterone levels over time. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a myth?
No, masturbation does not lower testosterone levels
